📚 Friendly Reminder: Summer Reading Logs are Due Soon! ☀️

Hello Richmond Elementary Families!

We hope you’ve had a wonderful first two days of school filled with sunshine and learning! This is just a quick reminder that Summer Reading Logs are due on Friday, August 14, 2026.

Whether your child explored magical kingdoms, solved mysteries, or learned all about outer space, we can't wait to celebrate their reading adventures. Please send those completed logs back to school with your student or drop them off at the front office.

If you are still squeezing in a few last-minute chapters before the deadline, you have a little time left. Happy reading!

If you need a new copy of the reading log, please see the links posted on Parentsquare!
